Is there any analysis regarding how the tiny legs are meant to work? By the look of it, the smallest percentage residual velocity or vertical rotation is going to crunch whichever hits first. The Falcon 9 legs are huge and clearly very strong. The SNx legs just seem ... incongruous? Or are they still in int the 'zero volicity splash-down for modelling' stage?
(Edit: Not to mention how any of this is meant to work on Mars.)
- gameswithgo 6y agoi think its just temporary.
- nickik 6y agoElon basically tweeted that the legs are one of the single biggest 'battlegrounds' inside of SpaceX. There are tons of ideas and different approaches. We will see what SN15 goes with. The current ones are defiantly not a final product.
